comparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.
heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
15 صفحه اولPharmacological intervention for dengue virus infection.
Dengue virus (DENV) infection has a considerable health impact in tropical and subtropical countries worldwide. Escalation of infection rates greatly increases morbidity and mortality, most commonly from deaths due to dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Although the development of an effective, long-lasting vaccine has been a major aim for control and prevention of DENV infectio...
متن کاملStructure and function of flavivirus NS5 methyltransferase.
The plus-strand RNA genome of flavivirus contains a 5' terminal cap 1 structure (m7GpppAmG). The flaviviruses encode one methyltransferase, located at the N-terminal portion of the NS5 protein, to catalyze both guanine N-7 and ribose 2'-OH methylations during viral cap formation. Representative flavivirus methyltransferases from dengue, yellow fever, and West Nile virus (WNV) sequentially gener...
متن کاملMutagenesis of the dengue virus type 2 NS5 methyltransferase domain.
The Flavivirus NS5 protein possesses both (guanine-N7)-methyltransferase and nucleoside-2'-O methyltransferase activities required for sequential methylation of the cap structure present at the 5' end of the Flavivirus RNA genome. Seventeen mutations were introduced into the dengue virus type 2 NS5 methyltransferase domain, targeting amino acids either predicted to be directly involved in S-ade...
متن کاملComputational analysis of methyl transfer reactions in dengue virus methyltransferase.
S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) dependent methyltransferases (MTases) play crucial roles in many biological processes. The MTase of the dengue virus is of particular interest for the development of antiviral drugs against flaviviruses. It catalyzes two distinct methylation reactions at the N7 and the 2'O position of the viral RNA cap structure. Based on density functional theory (DFT) electronic ...
